My friend's daughter is nearly 23. She was meant to go on holidays this Summer with a few friends, but one dropped out to go on holidays with her family, another decided to work abroad for the Summer and the whole thing got a bit messy and ended up being cancelled.
Disappointing obviously, but my friend is reacting as if her daughter has been through some major trauma. She and her DH have now altered their own holiday plans so they can do something that includes dd, and she's constantly talking about how this has had such a bad effect of DD's morale, she's learnt such a terrible lesson about people letting you down, she hopes she'll be able to move on etc etc.
AIBU to think this is way OTT. Her daughter is an outgoing, confident girl and should surely be able to cope with a minor setback like this. We've all had holiday plans fall through, or a friend let us down. It's just life, get over it, surely?

To think my friend's daughter is an adult who should be able to cope with this?
